Chapter 74: The End
The car door opened and closed, and Zhang Jingsheng's agent sat in the passenger seat, bringing in a cold air.
Zhang Jingsheng, who was sitting in the back row, was agitated by the cold wind, and slightly faded from some alcohol, he asked, "How was the talk?" β
"Won't come. He said that he had signed into his brother's studio, and that he would not consider anything else. The agent said calmly.
"That's right." Zhang Jingsheng nodded, not much surprised.
In his eyes, refusing the solicitation of top brokerage companies and resolutely staying in a small studio with weddings as the main business is indeed something that people like Guan Chen would do.
Zhang Jingsheng looked out of the car window in front of him, and in his line of sight, Guan Chen, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was surrounded by several people exchanging contact information.
Guan Chencun's number was not stored in the mobile phone address directory, but he took out a small notebook very old-fashioned, wrote everyone's numbers, and asked the other party's name, occupation and age one by one. It's also a shame that everyone drank some wine at the finale banquet and didn't feel confused by Guan Chen's behavior. When he finished writing, Guan Chen turned around to leave, but a few girls who were still sober stopped him and said, "Your number hasn't been reported yet." Guan Chen read out a string of numbers. The girls quickly saved, some of them were fast, and after they finished saving, they called on the spot, only to hear everyone's mobile phones, ringing one after another [Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off......]. Guan Chen put away the small notebook casually, and without explaining a word, he smiled and waved goodbye to everyone, leaving a group of confused or sluggish girls.
Zhang Jingsheng retracted his gaze, took out his mobile phone, found Guan Chen's number, dialed it, and after a few seconds, it was also a sentence [Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off......]. Zhang Jingsheng covered his forehead and laughed.
The agent sighed: "This person ...... It's kind of weird. β
As Zhang Jingsheng's agent, she has worked hard in the circle for nearly 30 years, traveling from south to north, and all kinds of strange people who are congenital, acquired, and acquired have seen it. But Guan Chen still made a deep impression on her, almost unable to predict his behavior, and didn't know what was going on in his head.
looks like a very normal young man, but when he talks and does things, he always has a sense of disobedience.
For example, Guan Chen's major in literature is at university, and he always holds a book during a break on the set, writes and sketches, keeps his eyes on it, and keeps his hands on it, which seems to be in line with his academic qualifications. Although he is holding a best-selling book in his hand, this is not surprising, because Guan Chen may have taken over the project of adapting the film and needs to be studied.
However, one day, when she passed behind Guan Chen, she inadvertently glanced at the book that Guan Chen had opened, and she saw some short words or sentences circled on it, accompanied by some annotations, and the content of the annotation was [ζ²η£ (xie) δΈζ°: A metaphor for the combination of like-minded people. Next to this mark, there is another marker [Smelly: It means that people with bad ideas and bad styles cater to each other and combine with each other. She was shocked, what was this doing? It's impossible to master vocabulary while reviewing elementary and intermediate Chinese, right? So is it a practice of calligraphy?
For example, when resting or waiting for a play, although other actors also read the script, there is such a thing as the script, what can you see after watching too much, so the actors often get together to chat and play games.
Guan Chen rarely communicates with others, and when he waits for the play, he either dances with knives and guns, or sits there quietly reading books and scripts. It's like an arrogant artistic youth, out of place. said that he was not good at socializing, and he never caused trouble to the crew, did everything himself, and never put on a bad face. When others take the initiative to talk to him, he will talk too. When chatting, I don't get nervous at all and say something philosophical or very esoteric, and the words are very colloquial and ordinary, without any intellectual abstraction, and even very down-to-earth. "You are professional, I believe in you", "Don't worry, it's none of your business", "When we come out to mix, we will rely on the word righteousness to go all over the world", very Jianghu and very social, everyone shouted as if they were really mixed with him.
She thought that Guan Chen was playing Haoshuang and pretending to be friendly, but with her eyesight, she gradually found that Guan Chen was really bold, really informal, completely without the reserve of intellectuals, and without the restraint of young people entering a new environment.
At a young age, he has the taste of savage growth that has been cultivated in society. Sophisticated, yet full of youth.
There are rumors in the crew that his background is a bit complicated, but he doesn't smoke, drink, call "takeout", don't "dinner", don't fool around, doesn't have the slightest bad habits, goes to bed early and gets up early, and is so well-behaved that he doesn't look like a young man in this century.
Very strange person.
Guan Chen on the information and Guan Chen in reality are like two people.
"This shows that he was born to be a star." Zhang Jingsheng said with a smile, "Many celebrities want to work hard to get rid of the shackles and do what they are true to." But in fact, their true selves are either boring or bad. Nobody likes it at all. β
Zhang Jingsheng looked out the window in the distance, and after saying goodbye to everyone, Guan Chen, who suddenly started running at night: "A person like Guan Chen can break through a person's psychological safety distance in a few seconds after getting along, but it is not disgusting, it directly leaves a deep impression on people, makes people curious, and wants to know more about him." So no matter which company he goes to, whether it's a big company or a small studio, as long as he's still in the circle and hasn't made any big mistakes, sooner or later he will become popular. The difference is just fast and slow. β
"Stop boasting." The agent sighed: "I want to jump out of the car and chase after me." β
In fact, she knew that Zhang Jingsheng said this just to make her feel better when she was rejected.
Not ashamed to be rejected by geniuses.
Genius allows waywardness and maverickism.
She knew that she was definitely not the only one who wanted to dig Guan Chen.
A top-notch production team means a huge network. The crew is closed to the uninitiated, but not to the insider. During the nearly two months of shooting, there were waves of people visiting, visiting, studying, and inspecting, as long as they were not blind or deaf, they could basically hear or notice Guan Chen's original stone that had already shone brightly without much polishing.
Zhang Jingsheng is a superstar, and his agent has long been out of the category of ordinary agents. She is now a partner at a top brokerage firm, with connections across the industry and countless resources at her disposal. Although nominally an agent, she hasn't brought any newcomers with her for years. If the news is released that she wants to bring an artist, there are almost no newcomers in the circle who can refuse her. This statement is not self-confidence or conceit, but a fact. Originally, she thought so.
But at tonight's finale banquet, she found Guan Chen and tried to get in touch, wanting to see if she could sign the other party into the company first, if the follow-up development curve meets the potential, then it is not impossible for her to bring it personally. As a result, Guan Chen rejected her, and rejected everyone.
It's not a desire to get away with it, it's not a negotiation skill, it's just a direct statement of Xie Jinzhu's studio, and other places are not considered. I didn't even leave a phone number.
This kind of freewheeling and measured person is the most difficult to hold. People who can't be moved by fame and fortune can only be maintained by feelings. But relying on feelings is now a step slower. Unless there is a problem with Xie Jinzhu's studio, Guan Chen will not. "Forget it, don't think about it for a while." The agent turned around and asked the assistant to drive to the hotel.
"Why don't you go and buy his brother's studio?" Zhang Jingsheng made a suggestion.
The agent rolled his eyes: "Qian Liangyi is not a fool. How could you let go of such a diamond. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Originally, I asked Lao Qian to pick you up, but he was crazy these days, and he slept directly in the studio, and then he caught a cold. I don't know what I'm anxious about...... Anyway, you're going to have to come back on your own. Xie Jinzhu told Guan Chen on the phone.
"It's fine." Guan Chen said that he was not a big brother, he didn't need to travel in front and back, and the experience of bringing Qian Liangyi on the plane was very bad, Guan Chen felt that half of his seat was occupied by Manager Qian.
"How's the finale?" Xie Jinzhu asked.
"It's kind of ...... Not adapting. Guan Chen replied. In his previous life, he participated in the banquet and banquet, and no one would want to stand up and walk out until everyone drank in the dark. But at the finale banquet, no one persuaded him to drink, and no one fought for wine. It's as if the wine table culture has disappeared, it's incredible.
"If you don't fit in, you're right!" Xie Jinzhu thought on the phone that when he first participated in the finale banquet, although he was stumbling and suffering a lot of injuries while filming that movie, he was very reluctant to leave, and he cried while pouring wine during the finale banquet, "I'm crying miserably!" β
Guan Chen was silent, judging from his limited knowledge, the senior brother should be suffering from some kind of Eskimo or some kind of motorcycle syndrome.
"Didn't drink too many bars?" Xie Jinzhu said, "Don't be unable to catch tomorrow's plane when the time comes." Listening to his heavy tone, it seemed like a painful lesson.
Guan Chen replied that he hadn't drunk much, and he was definitely not late.
"After a while, you have to thank Director Chen and them when you turn around."
Xie Jinzhu said that the so-called blockbusters often carry risks and anxieties from the beginning. The purpose of all the participants is clear, and that is to make money β spending hundreds of millions of dollars on production costs to make more money. Therefore, every link has been repeatedly considered and predicted, and everyone is afraid of catastrophic failure.
"So these kinds of blockbusters are generally quite boring. According to the previous large number of successful models, set into the mode of shooting, when to produce what plot, when to have tears or laughter, each accurate to the second. Calm down to no agitation. Feeling. Xie Jinzhu said: "So you think this shooting is very interesting, in fact, it is thanks to Director Chen." β
"Senior brother, you've also made blockbusters?" Guan Chen was a little surprised, the senior brother simply knew everything.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't ...... But ......" Xie Jinzhu couldn't do anything, put on the majesty of a senior brother, and said loudly: "Don't interrupt my train of thought!" β
"Oh." Guan Chen asked Xie Jinzhu to continue.
ββ¦β¦ In short, Director Chen agreed to temporarily change the lines, change the movements, and increase your role, all of which were risky. Xie Jinzhu finally connected his thoughts, "Such directors are rare, you have to maintain the relationship well." Even if you don't have so many scenes in the later cut film, don't blame him, because he doesn't have any editing rights. You still have to remember that he is your Bole. β
"Got it." Guan Chen didn't think there was anything wrong. Although he picked up Huang Lun's cheapness, he also knew that it was Director Chen and the screenwriter who recommended him so hard that he had the opportunity to perform.
"After you come back, Huang Jin will also pay a visit over there. He is also your benefactor. β
"Oh."
"And Teacher Xing's side too."
"Oh."
"That's pretty much it."
"There's one more. Big brother. β
"Who else?"
"Big brother."
"How can I ......" Xie Jinzhu asked halfway through, and finally reacted and smiled. The tone was slightly sharper, as if a child had grown up. He added: "Actually, there is still old money. β
"He's not." Guan Chen said calmly: "He has paid over there, and the commission of the salary." β
